The Throne of the Kingdom - As it is in Heaven VII

The Throne of the Kingdom  –  As it is in Heaven Whenever we view a Throne, the idea of dominion, of authority, of Government comes into view.  Whenever we have a Throne, we have a rule or a Government that is established.  “Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.”  Let us hear this in view of the Throne of God.  His Kingdom is according to His rule.  His rule is found in a person, the Lord Jesus Christ.  The rule of Christ Jesus is to be established in our hearts and our minds.   In the Old Covenant Israel, God ruled His people through the Law.  Israel was subject to the Law of God, which could never transform their minds.  Israel was subjected to the Word of Covenant, to the Priesthood, to the Feasts, and to all that was spoken.  This word could never make those who come to it perfect, Hebrews Chapters 9 and 10.   We are subject to the Word of God which can and does transform our souls and minds.  We are subject to the perfect work of Jesus Christ, “by which He perfected forever those who are sanctified, Hebrews 10:14.”  The Throne of God changed from a seat covered with the blood of animals to a Seat filled with the Living Christ.  God rules us through Christ.  His dominion and Throne are in Him.   His blood has forever cleansed those who come to God by Him.     For me to understand God’s rule.  I have to understand Christ.  He is God’s rule of the Kingdom.  It is not simply that Jesus is the King.  He absolutely is THE KING, and there is no other.  However, His Kingship is established upon His Work.  How we rule with Him is through understanding His work in His death, burial and resurrection.  This is how He rules and reigns in our lives. This is how He transforms our minds.  Glory to God!
